CarusoPhoto's photostream  

I was on a photo walk and nothing was working out very well. I was heading back to the car and saw this wall so I decided to grab a shot or two not really expecting it would amount to anything. As is often the case, the "throw away" shot of the day ended up being the keeper. That is what I love about photography: the shot you like can happen at ANY time.

Just another moment captured in the Great Hall at Chicago's Union Station. I simply cannot get over the quality of light in that room...it's delicious!

During a recent snow storm, I found myself in Downtown Chicago battling the elements. Happily, I had my camera with me because nights like this are rife with photo opportunities.

Even though I see this fellow every day, I only occasionally think to photograph him. With diffused winter light, patches of snow, and dead tendrils all around it was a perfect day to make a shot.

Sometimes photo walks amount to very little. Other times, they yield a good amount of pretty decent opportunities. Sometimes, however, you run across a scene like this.

While walking around the downtown square in Woodstock, IL, we found this little gem of a scene. The doll was just entangled in the brambles of a post-holiday street display. I had to grab several shots and this was one.

Although the rest of the day produced nothing much else in terms of interesting opportunities, when gold strikes, it can be counted a good walk.
